The Royals scored a lot of runs tonight and officially broke the Detroit Tigers.
And wouldn’t you know it, they’ve won eight straight games.
Powered by a whole lot of offense and a brief escalation to fistifuffs, the Royals finished a three-game sweep over the Tigers with a 16-2 win.
It didn’t hurt that the Royals were facing the American League’s punching bag in Anibal Sanchez, who gave up eight hits over the first three innings of the game.
The hit barrage began in the 2nd, with Hosmer leading off the inning with an infield single.
